Arkansas Times hasn't added a story.
“Why I Left the Republican Party” is the title of former Republican state senator Nate Bell’s lunch presentation on March 21 at the Copper Grill, part of the Arkansas Times speakers series.
Nate is known for his aggressive, take-no-prisoners brand of
conservative political advocacy. However, he will tell you that
today’s Republican Party has left him and countless others behind as
the GOP has wandered into the MAGA political desert.
When: March 21, 2024, from 11:30-1:00
Where: Copper Grill
Our monthly speaker series brings newsmakers, writers and
politicians together for a behind-the-scenes look at important current
events and trends in Arkansas. These lectures are raising money for
the Arkansas Times Investigative Journalism Project. 100% of the
proceeds will go to hire two additional reporters this year, bringing
our editorial staff from six to 14 in just 18 months. Thousands of
reporters are being laid off nationwide, along with many in Arkansas,
as Google and Facebook soak up local ad dollars. But the Times is
growing, thanks to reader support from you and other Arkansans. With
Sarah Sanders in the governor’s mansion and MAGA Republicans running
the legislature, there has never been a greater need for journalistic scrutiny.
In-person tickets are $100 and include lunch in the private
dining room at the Copper Grill in Little Rock. Seating is limited to
75. Our previous luncheons have sold out, so please don’t wait to buy
your tickets.
Doors open at 11:30, and the Copper Grill buffet opens immediately after. Nate will start shortly before noon, and questions will follow. We will wrap up by 1 p.m. Hope to see you there!
